Notebooks

Quick post here. I am almost ready to come back to blogging. I have 21 days until I graduated from grad school! I am about to have so much time to do other things besides school work!

I found this picture from my classroom a few years ago. I wanted an easy way to separate notebooks by class and subject. Colored duct tapeto the rescue!

I LOVE all the color and how organized it looks. Remember, my classroom is a bit of an organized mess, so corners like this are rare to find. 

It takes time at the beginning of the year to wrap the spines with duct tape, but it is worth it in the end. 

First Day of School

I survived my first day of school for the year! My legs almost didn't survive unfortunately. I wore my comfortable pair of shoes but I guess I am not that used to walking around that much. I took the summer off from any work out.

I look kind of ridiculous, but at 6:30 this morning, I was pretty excited to be going to meet the kiddos. 

 

My husband also teaches. Today was his first day with kids at a new school and new grade level. (He made the jump from 3rd grade to High school.) He thought I was joking when I said I was going to take his picture.

And this was my desk by the end of the day. I just can't get organized very much. I need to find some kind of system that works for me. Or just get rid of all the "excess" paper.

 

Good luck to everyone on the first days back to school!
